மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
மயிலாடும் மந்தாரா
மடலோடு தூறல் தந்தாரா
Mandhaara, Mandhaara flower...
Mandhaara flower where peacocks dance...
Did you give a drizzle along with a petal message?
மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
குரலுதும் மந்தாரா குழலேறி
காதில் சென்றாரா
Mandhaara, Mandhaara...
Mandhaara flower humming a tune...
Did it reach the ear like music through a flute?
கிளையினில்
தாவும் காகம் இலையினை
நீரில் போடும் அதை
அறியாமல் ஓடும் நிலை
உணர்வாயா
A crow hopping on a tree branch...
Drops a leaf into the water...
It flows away without knowing it...
Will you realize this state?
உன்னை அறியாமல்
நீயும் இவள் மண ஓடை
மேலே ஒரு இலை வீசி
போனாய் உயிர் படர்வாயா
Without realizing it yourself...
Upon the stream of her mind...
You threw a leaf and left...
Will you spread into my soul?
ஓ பொல்லாத மேகம்
பூக்கும் என்னோடு போரிட
பார்க்கும் இனி என்னாகுமோ
மலர் மண்ணாகுமோ அதை
ஏந்தி கொள்வாயா
Oh, a cruel dark cloud blooms...
It attempts to fight with me...
What will happen now? Will the flower turn to dust?
Will you hold and protect it?
மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
மனதிலாடும் மந்தாரா
மடலின் மேலே தூறல்
தந்தாரா
Mandhaara, Mandhaara...
Mandhaara flower dancing in the mind...
Did it shower a drizzle upon the petal leaf?
மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
குழலாய் பேசும் மந்தாரா
குழலிலேறி காதில்
சென்றாரா
Mandhaara, Mandhaara...
Mandhaara flower that speaks like a flute...
Did it reach the ear traveling through the breeze?
மந்தாரா சிங்காரா
கள்ளரா ரீங்கரா
Mandhaara...
Beautiful and adorned...
Sweet sound...
Humming rhythm...
ஆஹா
மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
மயிலாடும் மந்தாரா
மடலோடு தூறல் தந்தாரா
Ahaa... Mandhaara, Mandhaara...
Mandhaara flower where peacocks dance...
Did you shower a drizzle with a petal message?
விதவிதமாக
பொய்களை அள்ளி
மனதினில் பூசி மறைத்தேனே
நிஜங்களை காட்டும் விளம்பரமாக
சிரிப்பினை இதழில் இணைத்தேனே
Scooping up various lies...
I painted over my mind and hid them...
Like an advertisement displaying the truth...
I attached a smile to my lips...
உன்னை வந்து
சேரும் ஆசை உயிரினில்
ஏறும் ஓசை முதல் முதலாக
கேட்டேன் உன்னை அடைவேனா
The desire to come and reach you...
Is a sound rising within my soul...
I heard it for the very first time...
Will I ever reach you?
பெண்ணோடு ஏனோ
மோதல் உண்டாக்குதே உன்
காதல் நீ தினம் தரும் உயிர்
கலவரம் கலைக்காமல்
நின்றேனா
Why is there a conflict with this woman?
Your love is creating it...
The daily turmoil of life that you give...
I stood without dispersing it...
மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
மனதிலாடும் மந்தாரா
மடலின் மேலே தூறல்
தந்தாரா
Mandhaara, Mandhaara...
Mandhaara flower dancing in the mind...
Did it shower a drizzle upon the petal leaf?
மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
குழலாய் பேசும் மந்தாரா
குழலிலேறி காதில்
சென்றாரா
Mandhaara, Mandhaara...
Mandhaara flower that speaks like a flute...
Did it reach the ear traveling through the breeze?
மந்தாரா மந்தாரா
மயிலாடும் மந்தாரா
மடலோடு தூறல் தந்தாரா
ஆஆ ஆஆ ஆஆ ஆஆ

Mandhaara is a poetic romantic track from the movie Bhaagamathie that portrays the sweet emotional turmoil, yearning, and deep inner feelings of the protagonist. Using rich nature imagery such as dancing peacocks, flowing streams, drifting leaves, rain, and flutes, lyricist Vivek crafts a delicate interior monologue about falling in love unconsciously.
